Father Connery of Oneonta.  Mr. and Mrs. Chant are well and favorably known to Sidney people, who regret their departure for their new home in Manlius, N.Y.
 
Parsons - Cairns
At the home of the bride and of Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Taber on Pruyn Hill [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], at noon, Thursday, June 29 [1911], the main hall and stairway were banked and covered with ferns and daisies.  A wedding bell of the same decorations hung in the doorway which entered into the front parlor trimmed with roses and palms and where relatives and intimate friends were gathered.  A tiny gate of ferns and daisies obstructed the passageway of the door.  Descending the stairway amid the green and white of hillside and wooded coverings, and within the sound of Lohengrin's wedding march, Miss Ida May Parsons and John McKay Cairns stopped beneath the bell.  They were preceded by Rev. Frank James and little Elizabeth Taber who carried a basket of roses and white tulips, embedded in which was a ring.  The last two passed through the miniature gate, and Mr. James began the beautiful Episcopal service, which with the ring ceremony united in matrimony the betrothed. The bride wore an imported embroidered white gown and carried a white prayer book.  At the conclusion of the ceremony, the bride and groom remained in the same position and received the congratulations of the guests while a cousin of the bride, Miss Lena Parsons, of Scranton, who executed the wedding march, continued at the piano and played "Hearts and Flowers."  After many felicitations, the front door opened and the wedding party passed out and over the carpeted lawn within the yard, which was surrounded by rosebushes and shrubbery and beneath trees hanging with growing apples, cherries and plums, an eight-course dinner was served from a table artistic in decorations of pink and white sweet peas and a large white bridal cake.  The dinner favors were place cards in small baskets of orange blossoms.  The bride and groom left the scene of the wedding by automobile at about 3 o 'clock and were driven to Unadilla where they took the afternoon train for Green Lake in the Adirondack mountains, to remain several days, after which they will return to Scranton to reside where a home already furnished is awaiting them.  The guests upon returning to the house were presented with souvenir boxes of wedding cake.  The bride was the recipient of a great many presents, consisting of silver, china, cut glass and linen. The bride is a refined and cultured young lady of this village.  She is a graduate of Bainbridge High School and Bradford Academy, Haverhill Mass, and possesses in a very marked degree the many qualities which make her estimable and charming.  The groom holds a responsible position with the D.L. and W. Railroad Company, being head draughtsman in the engineering department and having offices in Scranton.  He is an exemplary young business man.
